Gretchen Welby

Barre Instructor

Steamtown Hot Yoga & Barre

I am so excited to teach barre classes at Steamtown Hot Yoga!  I started with Hot 60 classes at SHY in 2017 to heal the wear and tear of running on my knees and ankles but found that I enjoyed the peace and balance that yoga brought to my exercise routine and my knees and ankles much preferred yoga over running! I became Zen Barre certified in 2020. My “day” job for over 25 years has been teaching anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and pathophysiology to college and graduate students, so I am acutely aware of the importance of exercise on the mind and body. I truly believe that exercise is the best medicine.  I aim to create an atmosphere that challenges everyone to be their best self. I hope to see you in class soon!
